      (b)  The cost of education adjustment is the cost of
education index adjustment adopted by the foundation school fund
budget committee and contained in Chapter 203, Title 19, Texas
Administrative Code, as that chapter existed on March 26, 1997,
except that the commissioner may increase that adjustment for a
district that has, as determined by the commissioner, a percentage
of students who are eligible for special education services under
Subchapter A, Chapter 29, including students residing in state
schools or residential facilities located in the district and
students placed in hospital classes, that is significantly greater
than the statewide average percentage of students eligible for
special education.
